The Portuguese defender is set to reunite with Thomas Tuchel in Munich after six years. He had spent the 2016-17 season under the German coach’s tutelage at Dortmund.
After signing for Bayern, Guerreiro said, “When the call came from FC Bayern, I made my decision fast. It’s an honour for me to be able to play for this great club, and I also regard Thomas Tuchel highly from our time together at Dortmund. I’m a player who always wants the ball – it’s about controlling the game and I want to create chances. I’ll give my all so that we win as many titles as possible. That’s the philosophy of FC Bayern.”
More players are anticipated to join the German powerhouses this summer. Kyle Walker of Manchester City and Kim Min-Jae of Napoli have both been linked with a move to the Allianz Arena.
